I was trying to create a module for node.js and i noticed something. Example
function Example() {
this.property = "something";
}
Example.prototype.run = function() {
console.log('hello world')
}
module.exports = Example;
with this code it say's that there's no method run. I need it to declare like
Example.prototype.run = function run() {}
to work. Why is that happening ?
This should work fine as long as you actually call the constructor and create an object which is how you've configured the Example code:
var Example = require("./example");
var item = new Example();
item.run();
You need to load the module and instantiate the Example class.
Example.js :
function Example() {
this.property = "something";
}
Example.prototype.run = function() {
console.log('hello world')
}
module.exports = Example;
main.js :
var Example = require("./Example.js");
var example = new Example();
example.run();
run:
$ node main.js
hello world
var Example = require('./example.js'); new Example().run();
